Ben Nevis 24 Year Old 1996 Old Malt Cask is a rare and highly collectible Highland single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Hunter Laing & Co. for their Old Malt Cask series. Distilled in 1996 and matured for 24 years in a single refill butt (#18761), this exceptional expression was bottled in June 2021, with 296 bottles released.

Produced at Ben Nevis Distillery, this long-aged single cask showcases the distillery’s distinctive and robust character—often rich, slightly waxy, and full of depth. Refill cask maturation allows the spirit to shine, developing layers of orchard fruit, malt sweetness, spice, and subtle oak through extended ageing.
